Description
My project will be a game coded completely in rust designed to run on a Pico 2W with 4 buttons (A, B, Special and Menu), a joystick for navigation, a tft screen, with sensors for special attacks (such as a light sensor or proximity sensor)
Motivation
I chose this project because I decided to implement a multiple features and utilize all aspects I've studied up until now in the lab, in rust on a microprocessor like the Pico 2W.
Architecture
Raspberry Pi Pico 2W to:
- rgb_tft screen 128x160
- A, B, Special, Start buttons
- Joystick
- buzzer
- sensors (to be determined)
